“And Just Like That” Bids Farewell After Season 3: Everything We Know About the Final Chapter of the Sex and the City Revival

HBO Max just dropped a cosmopolitan-sized bombshell: And Just Like That is ending after Season 3. Yes, really. The revival of the iconic Sex and the City is calling it quits once the third season wraps up this August, and fans are having mixed feelings — somewhere between sobbing into their Cosmos and sighing in relief.

So what went wrong or, depending on your point of view, what went exactly right? Was it the forced awkward brunch scenes, the bizarre plot twists, or simply the natural end of Carrie’s long and winding road through love, loss, and questionable outfit choices? In this article, we’ll break down everything you need to know about And Just Like That coming to a close, why it’s ending now, what the cast is saying, and whether this truly is the final chapter for the SATC universe.

HBO Max Confirms Season 3 Will Be the Last

No More Episodes After August 14

The decision was officially announced on August 1, 2025, and let’s just say it did not land quietly. According to showrunner Michael Patrick King, the choice to end the series came organically during the writing of the Season 3 finale. He and longtime star Sarah Jessica Parker agreed that the story had reached a “beautiful resting place” — which sounds a lot like PR speak for “we’ve stretched this storyline as far as it can go without breaking it.”

Originally ordered for 10 episodes, Season 3 was extended to 12, with a two part finale set to air on August 14. That’s right, folks. We’re getting one last ride through the streets of Manhattan, and then it’s time to hang up the designer heels for good.

Why “And Just Like That” Is Ending

Creative Closure or Quiet Cancellation?

While King insists this is a creative decision, fans and critics alike are side-eyeing the timing. The revival, which launched in 2021, generated buzz in its early days but quickly saw a dip in viewership and fan enthusiasm. A few reasons why people may have checked out:

• The absence (and weird handling) of Samantha Jones

• The awkward dialogue that tried too hard to be “of the moment”

• Plotlines that made longtime fans wonder if they were watching the same characters at all

Still, HBO Max stayed loyal — until now. The network likely saw the writing on the wall: the novelty had worn off, and a graceful exit was better than a dragged out decline.

What Sarah Jessica Parker and the Cast Are Saying

Carrie Bradshaw Is Ready to Say Goodbye

SJP took to Instagram with a heartfelt post about saying farewell to the character she’s played for over 25 years. “A chapter complete,” she wrote, thanking fans for their support and waxing poetic about her fictional alter ego. While she’s clearly emotional, it sounds like even Carrie knows when it’s time to call it a night — preferably with a final walk in the city and a martini in hand.

Other cast members, including Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, have been relatively quiet, though it’s safe to assume they’re also ready to move on from this sometimes confusing, always fabulous reboot.

Will There Be Another Sex and the City Spin Off?

Don’t Hold Your Breath for a Sequel to the Revival

If you’re already holding out hope for another reboot of the reboot, maybe one where Charlotte opens a yoga studio in Brooklyn and Miranda runs for Congress, you might want to sit down. King and Parker have both described Season 3’s ending as “final,” not “to be continued.”

That said, Sex and the City has been declared dead before — and yet here we are. So while nothing’s planned now, we’ve learned to never say never when it comes to the ladies of Manhattan.

How Fans Are Reacting to the News

Spoiler: The Internet Has Feelings

Fan reactions are, predictably, a hot mess. Some are devastated, posting Carrie quotes and reminiscing about the original series. Others are sarcastically popping champagne. There’s a definite sense of “we loved it but we’re also kind of relieved it’s over.” That sums up the strange relationship viewers had with And Just Like That — part nostalgia trip, part cringe-fest, part style inspo.

One Last Walk Through the City

And Just Like That tried to reinvent a classic and, for better or worse, it gave us three seasons of bold fashion, awkward sex talks, and chaotic brunches. Whether you adored it or hate-watched it with a glass of wine and a sense of judgment, the show made an impact. Now, with its final two episodes landing on August 14, it’s time to say goodbye once again to Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte — and whatever that Peloton storyline was.

So grab your Cosmopolitans and prepare to watch the series finale with all the complicated emotions it deserves. Love it or loathe it, And Just Like That reminded us that aging, friendship, and reinvention are still worth talking about — just maybe not over 36 episodes.

Did the revival live up to your expectations, or are you glad it’s over? Share your thoughts and tag your brunch crew. We’re dying to hear what you really think.
